-explode undead x2

Shyft Piper*-27

10 *tomb skeletons
*Stinging skeleton

2 * golem famliiar

The First cultist grabs the close objective token and casts circle of wraiths. The Second one stays in the backfield and blows up skeletons. The tomb skeletons are also great objective holders (with polearm). The golem familiars are basically 18 pt leadership for the cultists, 2 life steals and they regen to full. The piper is the cheapest shyft. I'm not sure about domains. Any suggestions?

What? No Death Throes?

I would definetly try to squeeze a Death Throe into your army somewhere. Just stack the damage you deal that much higher and all that jazz. Plus if skeletons die due to fracticide, Deaththroes still let's them pull off at least one damage.

I do like the Tomb Skeleton approach. They are excellent bombs since they can't be taken out by melee prior to blowing up. If I had Tomb Skeletons in numbers like yours, i'd probably field something very similar.

Nice idea

I think it is vulnerable to deep strike threats like Ley Dragons, and bounders, maybe even bombardment. :eek:

I think against hulked up big hitters this would be a great army, because your opponent will run out of actions.

I wish that would be tournament legal!
That would make Explode undead so very very sick!

Explode undead removes figures from the game instead of eliminating them so it doesn't work in conjunction with Death Throes which requires a figure to be eliminated.

That might be why Beezly is running prevention(Circle of Wraiths) instead.

I've been tooling with similar armies and I've found that domains which restrict movement to 8, or limit range are the best. Not to many of these domain types are played becase everyone wants maximum efficency from thier Chroma's and Khan Rava's. What a great way to slow your opponent down and utilize the boom engine better!

No, I was thinking usign Death Throes to chain together a bunch of deaths. That way you can swamp down a figure, then Explode one of your guys,a dn all the rest go up with him. Then again, you might go through your figures way to quickly. But it shure would be fun to obliterate some 6 Skeletons in one go.

Incorrect, Death throes does not activate with explode undead. Death throes is triggered by elimination. Asplode Undead removes them from the game instead. It was even mentioned on the site as something that came up during playtesting that was just nasty.

EDIT- Upon closer review, Skytail already covered this. Repeat second down.

On a side note, why two copies of Asplode undead? Just rebrowse it if you plan on recasting it every turn. You could swap it out with something else like fang ritual

I think Oni-penguin makes a good piont, you have way to many explode undeads, altough one for each wizard makes sense.

i was thinking of an army along these lines but with syndin and the bonestaff to provide leadership and revenenting.
The army looked something like this:

Blood Cultist-33
Tome of Brass-33
--Explode Undead-6
--Death Throes-8
--Disbelieve-4

Priest Syndin-49
Necromantic Bonestaff-43

4x**Stinging Skeleton-4x16=64
2x*Stinging Skeleton-2x13=26
5*Tomb Skeleton-5x10=50
=298

This is more of a slow approach to the same concept. B/c of the lack of shyft, the skeles can only move 3 at a time, but they can also be brought back. This also allows for a bonestaffing-venom-explode combo that can do 7 damage to a single figure.

If you want to keep the doule sorcerer approach, i'd highly reccomend a revenenter so that you can still blow up skeletons that are killed. And death throes is a must, especially because it is pushing damage.

For domains, i'd say storm gale, and other anti-range domains. and possible clear terrain so that your bombs can't be slowed down too much.

um... explode dead will remove the skels form the game so you better take down some enemy stuff for revenet fodder early.

but yes , its a good strategy and the stinging skels were what i fiugred were best the ** double time and still have venom and then 2 damage will kill them.

i tryed working swarm of the ####ed into it but its deathspeaker and the only deathspeaker with a wand is aeradon, so that won't work in constructed...
